LT Turnbull commanding the platoon did an outstanding job holding the 1058 Grenadier Regiment of the 91 Luftlande Division the whole day before withdrawing at the end of the afternoon. During the night, the 1058 Grenadier Regiment did not manage to advance towards Ste-Mère-Eglise to launch a counter-attack. The 91 Luftlande Division commanding officer, Generalleutnant Wilhelm Falley was killed by US Paratroopers while he was coming back from the wargame session in Rennes on D-Day. Finally it was Generalleutnant KarlWilhelm von Schlieben, commander of the 709 Infanterie Division that ordered to resume the attack on Ste. Mere-Eglise the next morning. He attached two heavy artillery battalions and a company of self-propelled guns of the Panzerjäger Abteilung 709 with Marder III.

SET-UP This scenario requires a 6’ x4’ table with the historical terrain on it. The American player must deploy his entire force in the blue area, up to 24” from his edge. The German player must nominate at least half of his force as the first wave. Any unit not included in the first wave is held back in reserve. The large building that is located in the entrance of the town is a 19th century hospice. The US paratroopers established an Aid Post in one of the buildings in the courtyard.
SPECIAL RULES The hedgerows These block LOS unless either the shooter or the target unit is in base contact with them, or on top of elevated terrain like a hillock. Since these hedgerows were on top of large earth mounds, they also provide hard cover. Hedgerows count as obstacles. Furthermore, units passing through them under an “Advance” order cannot fire after they move because of the extra effort it takes to get through thick vegetation. Tanks have an especially hard time bursting through the hedgerows. Whenever a tracked vehicle tries to move through a hedgerow, roll a die. On a 1 or 2, the vehicle gets stuck and does not break through at all (as if the terrain was impassable) – it moves ends. Vehicles with a damage value of 10 or greater get a +1 to this roll. One a tank has passed through a hedgerow; it makes a hole the width of the tank that no longer counts as an obstacle. OBJECTIVE The goal for each side is simple: cause as much damage to the opposing forces while preserving your own. FIRST TURN The battle begins. During turn 1, the German player must bring his entire first wave on the red area of the table. Note that no order test is required to move units onto the table as part of the first wave. GAME DURATION After the end of turn 7, roll a die. On a result of 1, 2 or 3 the game ends; on a roll of 4, 5 or 6, play one further turn. VICTORY! Players score 1 victory point for each enemy unit destroyed. At the end of the game calculate which side has won by adding up victory points as follows. If one side scores at least 2 more victory points than the other, then that side has won a clear victory. Otherwise the result is a draw!
